I echo Stoner's comments. I learned at my first rendezvous that buckskinners live by the code and that is never to lie or cheat anyone. That, I've found to be true with everyone involved in our sport or hobby whether it be reenacting 1700's or 1800's personalities or just building flintlocks and all the accoutrements that go along with them. You will never meet a more honest, truthful bunch of people anywhere. If there comes along a bad egg, he or she won't last long. One bad deal and they are done.
